And if you believe a word of that, I've got a bridge to sell you (in the general sense)

Never assume that "malice" and "incompetence" are mutually exclusive.

Honestly, being one of the dozen or so people who still prefers to do his internetting with a computer rather than a smartphone, the whole app drama doesn't really bother me one way or another. What DOES bother me is Reddit deciding that they need to force a miserable ad-ridden experience on the people viewing and contributing to their site, plus knowing that if and when this goes through, old.reddit is almost certain to be next on the chopping block. Everything that's happened after that announcement has only reassured me that getting off of Reddit now is the right choice

ah shit here we go again.png

Between this bullshit and what seems like every Triple-Eh publisher suddenly developing massive diamond-hard boners for Denuvo (you're welcome), it's almost enough to make me want to go full Console Peasant. almost.

I thought that on Tumblr, every single character from any popular franchise was bisexual? /halfjoking

The point is punishing the people who pay money for this sh*t, apparently (and they will, because for everybody who refuses to buy something that comes with malware bundled in there will be at least two screaming "SHUT UP AND TAKE OUR MONEY!")

Unfortunately, I think you just answered your own question with that.

It's kind of interesting most of the posts that were blasting the r/ffxiv mods had been given gold.

EDIT: And it looks like the community voted to reopen the subreddit. And they're still blasting the mods because "HOW DARE YOU MILDLY INCONVENIENCE ME". I swear, every time I think that my opinion of this (great, BTW) community can't get any lower, someone finds a way to prove me wrong.

(there was a lot more that I could've/wanted to put in there)

Sadly, it doesn't make the paying customers STOP paying, which means it's just going to keep. F*cking. Happening.

To be united by hatred is... a fragile alliance at best.

I'm reasonably certain I'm butchering the quote, but oh well

(seriously tho, one more good thing to come over from That Old Site)

Dunno, I haven't seen anything pop up in Firefox running uBlock Origin, on either desktop or mobile (hint hint)

Bold of you to assume that that isn't the better therapist

I may occasionally still lurk old.reddit (until that gets the axe anyways), but as far as posting, I'm pretty much done with that, until/unless sp*z fucks off and the rest of management pulls their collective heads out of their collective asses (I'm not holding my breath).

Alas, poor Reddit, I knew them well

The higher the pedestal you put somebody on, the further they have to fall.

I feel like I should be yelling at those damned whippersnappers to get off my lawn, with all their Instagrams and Spotifies and Youtubes

Thank goodness for that at least. It can't come soon enough

I've been getting notified of replies even when I don't get tagged

I'd say "don't give ActiBliz ideas", but they've probably already got it in the works.
